I don't know which of my kouhais need to hear this, but because I'm seeing this in a ton of commercial J>E game locs: you really shouldn't retain quotation marks in the same places as the Japanese source text 9 times of 10, especially outside dialogue. Punctuation parity in general is often sloppy.

I haven't played Neir so I don't know much about this character, but it fits the mood. This was taken when I worked at the Photosuite for Otakon.
From the Game NieR:Automata comes Simone / Beauvoir. This cosplayer did some awesome work!

Happy 10-year anniversary to Heart of Thorns!
My little way to celebrate is showing a rough 2d animation I've been doing of Trahearne & Malyck for practice :D
I must emphasize this isn't polished! But hopefully it's a little amusing
